Adam Gemili is the fourth Briton in the past 14 years to win the world junior 100m title, but none of his predecessors have gone on to similar success at senior level

2006 Harry Aikines-Aryeetey 10.37

The BBC's Young Sports Personality and the IAAF's Rising Star of the Year in 2005, Aikines-Aryeetey went on to world junior triumph in 2006, but has not broken through at senior level. His PB of 10.10 was set in 2008 and he finished 13th in last year's World Championships.

2000 Mark Lewis-Francis 10.12

World junior success was followed by Olympic gold in the 4x100m relay in 2004, but his times have since gone backwards. His PB of 10.04 was set 10 years ago.

1998 Christian Malcolm 10.12

Veteran Welsh sprinter has often done better at 200m than 100m, but could only finish 5th in the 200m at the 2000 and 2008 Olympics.

Record breaker

Gemili's time of 10.05 was the joint sixth-fastest at junior level in history, and broke Dwain Chambers' junior British record of 10.06. Gemili's time was also a record at the World Junior Championships.

How does he compare?

Gemili's time makes him joint 27th fastest man in the world this year over 100m, and the second fastest European in 2012 behind Christophe Lemaitre. The leading times in the world this year are dominated by Jamaicans.
